In English Turn, the New Orleans technician we send repairs, sprays and caulks your tub where it stands.
One number reaches the technician who would hold the gun. The figure comes on the call, not after a visit.
(866) 951-0558The voice on the line belongs to the trade, not to a switchboard reading a script. Two minutes of plain description are enough to price a standard tub.
Are your old, stained bathroom fixtures making your daily routine feel depressing? You can actually save thousands of dollars by renewing your existing tub surface instead of ripping it out. Get your free estimate today and watch your bathroom transform overnight!
Actually, many homeowners believe that a rusty or discolored basin requires a complete, messy demolition crew. This common misconception ends up costing people a fortune in unnecessary plumbing bills and tile replacement costs. Instead of throwing your hard-earned money down the drain, you can choose a far smarter path.
By opting for a professional surface restoration process, you keep your original cast iron or steel fixture right where it belongs. Our specialized team handles the entire process on-site, applying advanced bonding agents that fuse with your worn porcelain. This means you avoid the dusty nightmare of breaking walls just to slide a new unit in.
Indeed, our local service brings massive value directly to your doorstep with minimal disruption to your daily life. We meticulously prep the area, repair any deep chips, and apply a glossy, durable topcoat that looks brand new. You get a sparkling, clean finish that feels incredibly smooth under your feet, providing immense satisfaction and pure coziness.
Think about the sheer chaos of a traditional bathroom remodel for a second. Contractors stomp through your hallways, dust settles on every single piece of furniture, and your water gets shut off. On top of that, you might discover hidden water damage behind the walls, which skyrockets your final bill.
Now, compare that headache to our swift, localized porcelain resurfacing method which takes only a single day to complete. We mask off your entire space, use heavy-duty exhaust fans to keep fumes outside, and complete the work with zero structural damage. This rapid turnaround lets you use your shower again in a matter of twenty-four hours.
| Factor | Complete Replacement | Our Professional Resurfacing |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost | Very High ($3,000 - $8,000) | Highly Affordable (Fraction of replacement) |
| Time Required | One to two weeks | Less than 24 hours |
| Mess and Dust | Extreme demolition debris | Virtually none, fully contained |
| Plumbing Changes | Required in most cases | Absolutely none needed |
Which means you save both your sanity and your wallet while achieving the exact same visual result. Our high-gloss coatings resist mold, mildew, and soapy buildup far better than old, porous surfaces do. This makes your weekly cleaning chores a absolute breeze because dirt simply wipes away without scrubbing.
To be honest, the secret to a finish that lasts for years lies entirely in the preparation work. Many cheap DIY kits fail within a few months because they skip the essential chemical etching step. We use professional-grade acids and conditioners to create microscopic pores in your old glaze, ensuring the new material grips tightly.
After etching, we apply a high-tech primer that acts like a double-sided tape between the old porcelain and the new coating. This molecular bond prevents peeling, blistering, and lifting even under constant exposure to hot, steamy water. Then, we spray multiple layers of premium acrylic urethane to build a thick, resilient shield.
Consequently, this advanced technique yields a brilliant luster that mimics the depth of genuine factory-fired glaze. You will not see any brush strokes, roller marks, or uneven patches in our finished work. We take pride in delivering a flawless, glass-like sheen that brings back the original pride of your home.
Over time, heavy objects drop into your tub, leaving ugly black chips that eventually start to rust. These rust spots slowly eat through the metal, eventually causing structural leaks that ruin your subfloor. Our technicians use waterproof polyester fillers to patch these cavities before we even think about spraying the topcoat.
Furthermore, we can neutralize existing rust spots to stop the oxidation process dead in its tracks. This careful attention to detail ensures that the ugly orange stains will not bleed through your fresh, clean surface. Your safety and peace of mind remain our highest priorities throughout the entire transformation.
To keep your renewed fixture looking spectacular, you simply need to avoid abrasive bleach cleansers and harsh scrubbing pads. Gentle dish soap or mild, non-abrasive aerosol foams will keep the surface gleaming without scratching the protective topcoat. This straightforward care routine preserves the brilliant shine for up to a decade or more.
Additionally, we recommend fixing any dripping faucets promptly, as constant water drops can eventually wear down any finish over time. By taking these simple precautions, you ensure your investment stays beautiful and functional for years to come. It really is the easiest way to upgrade your bathroom without breaking a sweat.

Three quiet stages carry the whole result. They are also the ones nobody sees in the after photo.
Stage 1 of 3
A reglaze fails or lasts on what happens before the gun comes out. The old surface gets scrubbed of soap film and silicone, etched or primed so the new material has something to grip, then wet sanded until it feels like fine paper. Skip any of that and the prettiest coat in the world lets go within a year, which is exactly the story most peeling tubs tell us.
Stage 2 of 3
Chips, rust blooms and worn drain rings are ground back to sound material and rebuilt with polyester filler, then sanded flush until a fingertip cannot find the spot. Coating over damage only photographs well on day one; a repair you cannot feel is what keeps the finish honest for years.
Stage 3 of 3
The topcoat goes on in fine sprayed passes with an extractor pulling air out the window the whole time. Sprayed layers flow together into one even skin, which is why the result reads as gloss rather than as paint. Brushes and rollers leave the texture that gives cheap refinishing its reputation.
Three real ways out of a worn tub. We only do the first one, so the other two columns are simply what we would tell a friend.
| The question | Reglazing in place | Acrylic liner | Full replacement |
|---|---|---|---|
| What a standard tub costs | $350 to $800 | $1,600 to $4,000 | $3,000 to $10,000 once walls and plumbing join in |
| Bathroom out of action | One day, then the cure | Weeks of lead time, then a fitting day | One to two weeks of trades |
| Demolition involved | None at all | None, but the old tub is sealed inside | Walls opened, floor patched, debris hauled |
| Honest life expectancy | Five years and up when cared for | Long, unless water creeps between the shells | Decades |
| Watch out for | Prep shortcuts by cut-rate crews | A spongy feel and hidden moisture | The budget doubling mid-project |
If your tub is cracked through, actively leaking underneath, or you simply want a different fixture, reglazing is the wrong tool, a verdict you will hear on the very first call.
Pass 1
Soap scum, silicone and old wax stripped, then the surface etched or bonded so the coating can bite.
Pass 2
Every ding ground out, filled and sanded flush. The repairs disappear under the coating instead of through it.
Pass 3
Tile, faucet, floor and glass papered off. Overspray lands on masking paper, never on grout or chrome.
Pass 4
Primer, then gloss coats laid on in thin passes until the surface reads as one poured skin.
Pass 5
The finish hardens on its own clock, 24 to 48 hours. We tape the door and leave the tub in peace.
Pass 6
Old caulk goes out with the old finish. A new mildew-resistant bead seals tub to tile on the way out.
A reglazed tub is your old tub wearing a professional coating. That is a fine thing to be, as long as everyone knows it going in.
A sprayed acrylic urethane skin, bonded to prepared porcelain, steel or fiberglass. It is smooth, glossy, warm to the touch and fully waterproof. Done properly it gives five years and more of daily service, and plenty of our tubs sail well past that with nothing but gentle cleaning.
It is not factory enamel fired onto iron at kiln temperatures, and no honest refinisher will tell you otherwise. It can be scratched by grit, dulled by harsh powders and lifted by standing water in a spot where caulk has failed. It is a durable coating, not a new tub, and it is priced like one.
Two minutes
ZIP, what the tub is made of, what bothers you about it. Said out loud it goes faster than typing, and a photo can follow later if the case is odd.
The same call
The technician who would do the work asks his questions and names a firm figure for a standard job, then confirms it in writing before any van is booked.
You set the date
One van, one technician, drop cloths from the front door to the bathroom. Water off for nothing; only the tub is out of service.
Most of that day
Damage filled and sanded, the room masked, extractor running, then the primer and gloss coats go on in thin, even passes.
24 to 48 hours
The finish hardens untouched, the new caulk bead goes in, and you run the first bath knowing exactly what was done and what to expect of it.
| What we quote | Typical range | Reading the number |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bathtub, reglazed complete | $350 - $800 | Clean, etch, repairs, sprayed gloss and fresh caulk. |
| Chip or rust repair alone | $150 - $300 | When the finish is sound and only one wound needs closing. |
| Clawfoot tub, inside and out | $700 - $1,300 | Two surfaces, more masking, and paint-grade feet if you wish. |
| Shower pan or base | $300 - $550 | Same process on the floor you stand on every morning. |
| Caulk renewal with the job | $90 - $180 | Old bead cut out, mildew-resistant line laid in. |
| Small job minimum | around $250 | The van, the materials and the cure time exist even for tiny work. |
Heavy previous coatings that must be stripped, unusual colors and badly pitted iron push a job toward the top of its bracket. The written price reaches you before the van is even loaded, and it holds.
Ventilation is not a courtesy, it is part of the job. The extractor runs from the first solvent wipe to the last sprayed pass, pulling air out the window instead of through your hallway, and the technician wears supplied air even when the household has gone out for the day. By the evening the bathroom smells like a bathroom again.
The materials are the professional two-part systems made for this trade, mixed fresh on site, never the single-can kits sold next to the paint rollers. It is the difference between a finish that cures into a hard skin and one that stays soft enough to peel at the drain within a season, and it is most of the reason our work carries a written workmanship promise against peeling and loss of adhesion.
And the schedule respects the cure. We tell you in writing when the tub goes back into service, 24 hours for most jobs and 48 for the cautious ones, because handing a family a beautiful surface and letting them ruin it that same night helps nobody. If anything in our workmanship lets go early, the technician comes back and makes it right without a discussion about whose fault the water was.
Strong while spraying, gone surprisingly fast. The extractor vents the room to the outside for the whole job around English Turn, so the rest of the home stays livable, and by the next morning the odor has left with the fumes. Pregnant households and bird owners get the frank version of this talk before booking.
Between 24 and 48 hours after the final coat, and the exact time is written on the paperwork you keep. The first bath is not a gamble; it is a date.
Any color. The most common request is retiring an avocado, pink or almond tub to white, and the coating is tinted before it is sprayed, so the new color is in the material rather than painted over it.
Yes. The prep changes, the primer changes, the result reads the same. Fiberglass with soft, flexing spots gets extra reinforcement talk first, because coating a moving floor is how warranties die.
Now the old coating comes fully off, which is honest work we price plainly, and then the job proceeds as if the tub had never been touched. Peeling almost always means the first crew skipped the etch or sprayed over silicone, not that your tub rejects coatings.
Five years is the floor we are comfortable promising out loud, not the ceiling. With soft cleaners, no standing mats and caulk kept sound, these finishes routinely serve a decade. What we refuse to do is whisper twenty and hope you lose our number.
Zoom for the lay of the land; the link lists further down name every community the van reaches from here.
Somewhere under that worn surface is the tub you chose. One day brings it back.
